Any of the pro level scanners will get the job for a few thousand dollars plus a monthly subscription. But I am guessing (you didn’t say) that you don’t want to spend thousands. So… Best for what car? ---

Im thinking autel 906 pro ts. Its about 1700. Have tranny thats not working when hot but my regular $400 autel keeps saying “this test not supportes by this module”. Solenoids work. Need more power. And also a CAN test and ECU test. 2007 ford escape ---

A laptop, an OBD2 cable to USB and Forscan, a free download for PC, will get you access to trans codes. It is a Ford and Mazda specific product. [https://forscan.org/](https://forscan.org/) If you have a laptop the total spend will be less than $100 ---

this might be worth a look at. I have no knowledge of this one but found it recently. > **[YOUCANIC UCAN-II Professional Diagnostic Scanner](https://www.youcanic.com/scanner/)** > > YOUCANIC scanner allows you to read and clear codes form all the control units, systems and modules on multiple car makes and models. ---

No need to cough out “a few thousand” as some have suggested. I have a $700 Autel that does pretty much everything I can think of. Also, unless you are a shop, why would you need updates every year? ---

Whybare you replying to me? I suggested a solution for less than $100. The OP is the one who wants a unit that covers more cars. ---
